Well i have vdr running on the core with no issues. But when it comes to the md's it does not want to play and comes up with the "no Message" image. I have deleted the md's and reloaded them as suggested in other posts on the subject but it didn't work.

Is there something i need to configure against the md in the admin site or is there something i need to change in the core setup?

I realise this is a slight change in topic and thought it might be useful to keep this post complete as it will give others a complete solution to a problem that might exist.

PS - R there any brissie people who have managed to get channel 7 data - if so what info did u put in ur channel.conf?

Justin - although VDR itself has a similar frontend/backend client/server architecture to Myth, in the current LMCE implementation it doesn't support that, so you can only have VDR and your TV card on your core. You can't view TV on your MDs.

That said, 1) there is a hack out there that totallymaxed and niteman have talked about that will allow you to do this in a limited way. And 2) totallymaxed's company has just put out a revision that will go into 0810 that implements this (among much other stuff), so you can either way, or try tackling compiling the new revision of VDR they checked into the trunk (or perhaps 0810, not sure which).

I have Pm'd niz23 as he has some instructions on this. He is in Sweden (I think) so he has just got back to me with some pre-compiled binaries and instructions he is going to wiki-ise. I told him I would point you to him - either pm him directly or let me know if you want me to pass the binaries on to you myself (haven't downloaded and looked at them yet, so not sure what is involved)

Yep Niz23 is working on this for sure I spoke with him on irc yesterday. If he has pre-compiled binaries or has built the packages then they will get you up an running quickly.

OK, it installed completely painlessly using niz's instructions. Can't test the LiveTV streaming at this point as I don't have an MD yet. But I will certainly be testing the new UI integration and features, which is just as important to me!

Yes.I have prebuilt debs for the updated VDR for i386 and amd64 together with a short howto that I have written how to get it working on core and MD.

I have let a couple of people test it with good luck so far and during this weekend I will update the howto so that everyone can use it.Only one thing left. Host the files somewhere. I will let everyone know where to get them shortly. Hope it is solved tonight.

To be honest, I'm not sure I see much difference in the UI. It is in German to start with, but I'm sure I can change the language option easily enough. The DVD up/down buttons change channels as before but the main channel up/down (on the Fiire) doesn't do anything. The colour buttons still seem to call up the LMCE functions assigned to them rather than the ones in the OSD. There is still a lot of OSD menu'ing rather than integrated with LMCE's menu's.

Andrew, is there any chance you could list what features have been added/corrected so I can focus on those?
